My time with MPQ

Hi fellow tilematchers,

The year is 2019. I have been playing on and off since 2014.. nearly 6 years of my life dedicated to MPQ. During this 6 years I have done the following in my life:

  • Graduated college

  • Hired for a job in my profession

  • Met a wonderful girl

  • Moved out of my parents house

  • Married that same girl

  • Relocated from NY to GA

  • Purchased a house

There was a lot more events inbetween but as you can see, MPQ has been with me through major milestones in my life. Today my bestfriend passed away. It hurts so much and I am in a lot of pain. I could continue to drown my sorrows into MPQ, but I really need to direct my focus to my family. Therefore I am retiring, for probably the 5th time. I need to make it stick this time, so I already told my alliance to never let me back in. If you see me on the forums again, please message me to leave and give me downvotes. If you see me in PVP, please attack me repeatedly, tell your alliancemates to gang-up on me. If you see me in PVE, message me on LINE to stop playing!

This may sound ridiculous but it’s difficult to leave this game, not because I enjoyed it, but all the great gamers playing with me. I had a lot of fun with MPQ, with my alliance, LINE and this forum. I helped my alliance grow to what it is today and we became a gaming family. On the forums, I made and read a lot of great posts on here, including my surveys and my most recent MPQ Meeting posts.  

I do not expect anyone to respond to this or even care, but I needed to write this to vent out my emotions. I want to thank everyone I ever came across in this game. I also want to apologize to @Brigby for being a pain in the butt the past few years. While I did not agree with some decisions on this forum, I shouldn’t have argued. I know it’s silly to say but I love all of you players and I wish you continued success, whether it’s in MPQ or life itself. Take care everyone and happy matching!

Sincerely with love not punishment,

Tom aka Punisher5784

    Enjoy retirement and, as I said in a previous retirement post (https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/38185/i-did-it-its-done-and-i-am-relieved), I’m glad you got to enjoy your namesake along the way :)

    Deepest condolences for your loss.  :(

    Take care Punisher5784! D3/Demiurge meetings may never be the same without you!

    So sorry dude, that’s terrible.

    I promise if I ever see you in PvP I will grind you into dust and shall encourage others to do likewise 😃.

    Punisher, I truly hope the best for you through this tough time.  As somebody that has been through it, it is not an easy time but with the move and support of your family, it will help a lot.  

    As for the game, while we never played together, I think I might have been your biggest fan of the MPQ meeting posts. I thought they were great and I know I was always asking for another one cause I just laughed so hard at them.  Truly a fan of your work.  

    Good luck to you and hopefully you will get through this a stronger person.

    To be fair, a friend passing away should really be enough to make you quit and never come back.

    I don’t know. I recently lost a very dear loved one. Sometimes MPQ provides a much needed distraction from my thoughts. It’s different for everyone though, examining your priorities is natural...it just depends if that leaves room for silly distractions. Clearly, in this case it did not.

    Anyway, very sorry for your loss. Even though I didn’t know you, I enjoyed many of your posts. All the best moving forward!

    Take care, you wrote some entertaining posts that made the forum a more enjoyable place. If you ever get tempted to come back  boot the game up and do a Thanos snap on you roster. Then several more snaps until all you are left with is 5* Kingpin, Flaptain, 3* Punisher, Moonstone and Yelana.

    Wishing you all the best.  Everyone can choose how to engage with the game, I suppose that's part of the reason it's still around.  

    The game is designed to pull you in, so going cold turkey is probably the only way to really quit without getting sucked back in at some point.

    I'll miss your meeting posts, but hope you find engagement and enjoyment in RL pursuits.

    That’s really well said, @Brigby. I was at quite a loss as to how to say this — the thought of losing my best friend is rather more than I could process. I would like to second your comment.  

    Good luck, @Punisher5784. My condolences, for sure.

    One last meeting. Continue on with your own dialogue.  


    Frank is all wore out, limping into the Demi offices.  Gets through the front door, takes the elevator up to the executive suites and stumbles out.  He hears a meeting going on with the planning of End Game coming to MPQ.  Frank kicks in the door. 

    Frank:  What are you guys doing?!?  Planning something big?!   

    Intern:  Frank you are back?!?   

    CEO:  We thought you were gone?!?  

    Frank:  You can’t get rid of me.  I will always be around. 

    Continue on:
